SEOBoost not writing sitemap.xml

Post by dlen »

Hi there,

cmsms version: 2.2.21
seoboost version: 1.4.4
sitemaps are active
pretty-urls are active

sitemap-pages.xml, as shown on - content - seoboost - sitemaps, has not pages listed:

Code: Select all

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://aum-goettingen.de/</loc>
<lastmod>2023-01-22</lastmod>

I don't think it makes a physical file. Make sure it's the only sitemap module you have and delete any physical files then check it again. You likely need to have pretty urls enabled.

Thx for your answer.
I did not have a 2nd SEO plugin installed and , as written in OP, pretty-URL activated.
So I guess I got to try another module or write sitemap.xml myself via PHP.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I mean it doesn't make a physical file in your file system, but it can be visited via the url (yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml). This is similar to how content pages work - there's no physical file at yourdomain.com/mypage, it's a rewrite of index.php?page=mypage (index.php being the physical file).
